Mayrig

[fIReBuRntInHeLL]

I've seen the movie but I wouldnt compare Ararat with Mayrig because Ararat is more metaphoric film. U have to search beyond the scenes, but mayrig depicts the real as it is.

[Darorinag]

That is what I meant by "realistic"... At any rate, I think Ararat was a horrible movie. Egoyan did a great job at making the genocide seem trivial.

[fIReBuRntInHeLL]

I disagree!that means u didn't get any clue!

[Darorinag]

Well, obviously I know about the genocide, but many people don't, and it's absurd to make it so symbolic when so many people don't even know about it and there isn't a whole lot of movies on the genocide to begin with...

[fIReBuRntInHeLL]

Well the movie wasnt about genocide. Duh!!!! The message that Egoyan sends is that the genocide made our fate disastrous, we have no future, we are spread all over the world and we don't know what will we become.

[Darorinag]

Well that's a dumb message. And if he was gonna do that, why insert the occasional parts about the genocide? He should've either stuck with it throughout or abandoned it altogether.. Besides, he could've had a much much better storyline in there. The whole thing was all over the place, heck, even something like incest going on...

[Inna]

I've never seen nor heard of this movie...does anybody know where I can get it?

[Inna]

even something like incest going on...

I don't remember anyone having incest in Ararat, who are you talking about??

[loleeg]

incest in ararat? he's probably talking about the main guy scrwein his step sister i don't think thats incest but whatever

[Darorinag]

She was his half-sister. So yes, it's incest, unless she was adopted, which I don't remember...
